The only way your getting one of these is to buy a cheap RS analog scanner one on EBAY with the battery packs. These battery packs are long gone and have not been available for us to order through the Radioshack RSU system since November or longer then that.

Even the stubby antenna's are sold out, I'm assuming GRE was manufacturing those for us as well and they stopped when the plant shut down. Good luck! You can always keep it plugged in if you can't find the battery pack.
